How do you tame a fox?

Breed two wild foxes (sweet/glow berries); the baby trusts the nearest player. Adults are not dog-style bone tames.

How do you breed horses?

Tame first, then feed golden foods and breed two tamed horses. Donkeys/mules have special mule rules.

What do horses eat?

Wheat, sugar, apples, golden carrots/apples, hay bales—golden foods matter most for breeding.

How do you tame a cat?

Raw cod/salmon near strays; wait quietly. Cats near beds reduce phantom spawns—a popular side benefit.
